1 Power Distance https://store.theartofservice.com/the-power-distance-toolkit.html

2 Power distance - Overview 1 The original theory proposed four dimensions along which cultural values could be analyzed: individualism- collectivism; uncertainty avoidance; power distance (strength of social hierarchy) and masculinity-femininity (task orientation versus person-orientation) https://store.theartofservice.com/the-power-distance-toolkit.html

3 Power distance - Dimensions of national cultures 1 *'Power distance index' (PDI): Power distance is the extent to which the less powerful members of organizations and institutions (like the family) accept and expect that power is distributed unequally. Cultures that endorse low power distance expect and accept power relations that are more consultative or democratic. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-power-distance-toolkit.html

4 Power distance - Differences between cultures on the values dimensions 1 *Power distance index shows very high scores for Latin and Asian countries, African areas and the Arab world. On the other hand Anglo and Germanic countries have a lower power distance (only 11 for Austria and 18 for Denmark). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-power-distance-toolkit.html

5 Power distance - Differences between cultures on the values dimensions 1 :For example, the United States has a 40 on the cultural scale of Hofstede's analysis. Compared to Guatemala where the power distance is very high (95) and Israel where it is very low (13), the United States is in the middle. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-power-distance-toolkit.html

6 Power distance - Differences between cultures on the values dimensions 1 :In Europe, power distance tends to be lower in northern countries and higher in southern and eastern parts: for example, 68 in Poland and 57 for Spain vs. 31 for Sweden and 35 for the United Kingdom. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-power-distance-toolkit.html

7 Power distance - Correlations of values with other country differences 1 For example, low power distance is associated with consultative political practices and income equity, whereas high power distance is correlated with the use of bribery and corruption in domestic politics and the unequal distribution of income https://store.theartofservice.com/the-power-distance-toolkit.html

8 Power distance - Correlations of values with other country differences 1 On average, predominantly Catholic countries show very high uncertainty avoidance, relatively high power distance, moderate masculinity and relatively low individualism, whereas predominantly atheist countries have low uncertainty avoidance, very high power distance, moderate masculinity, and very low individualism. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-power-distance-toolkit.html
